Transcript
00:00Looking at somebody else's marks or performance or salary or success is useful, but only in
00:06a limited way.
00:07You can look at them just to get a clearer idea of where your current performance stands.
00:13That's the only utility.
00:15Beyond that, the others are not a benchmark.
00:17You are born alone, you will die alone.
00:19What will you do with others?
00:21So comparisons are all right, to the extent they help you see where you currently stand.
00:28World, the world has to be very delicately utilized.
00:33On one hand, you cannot ignore how the others are doing.
00:38On the other hand, you cannot allow the world mean too much to you.
00:42There has to be a tightrope walk.
00:44It's a delicate thing.
00:45Remember these both.
00:47Honestly accept you have done very badly and then say, not next time.
00:53I'll improve.
00:54I'll improve.
